HRMS Software for Our Small Company

Please share your expectations in terms of features. How many employees will have access to a PC?

Hi Pradeep, you can try Orange HRMS. This is an open-source HRMS software.

It is good that your organization plans to automate the HR department and its functions. However, why opt for freeware? Instead, check the market and your budget to determine how much your company is willing to invest, and then make a decision accordingly.

I also suggest that you consider a customized solution from scratch since you are planning to deploy a completely new system. This approach will benefit you in the long term compared to the off-the-shelf packages available.

Thank you.

Yep, I agree. Orange HRM is the best solution for you. It works hassle-free and installs seamlessly. I know a company that provides a hosted solution for Orange; you can use that if you do not have a server in the office. Since your employees are pan India, a hosted solution will make more sense. Otherwise, you need a server in the office that is accessible for people from outside as well. Not sure if your office allows that.

Considerations for Orange HRM

Also, note that it does not have a payroll solution (most HRMS solutions don't have payroll). Additionally, the software is free as it is open source. But if you need help from experts to implement it, then you need to pay for it.

Well, do not go for fully free software, but you can opt for some HRMS software that offers a trial version. If you are satisfied with the trial version, then you can upgrade it. Also, make sure to choose software that offers free technical support 24/7 to get help anytime and avoid any further hassle.
